What is the importance of 4 in ABAP/4 , is there any other types

hi friends,
what is the importance of 4 in ABAP/4 , is there any other types like that availble in ABAP.

Hi Satish,
Here's an interesting link ...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fourth-generation_programming_language
I hope this serves your purpose of knowing about "Generation of Programming Languages" and even more
Reward if useful!

My iphone 4s' screen is black, but it's still on and charging. I broke my lock screen button so I am unable to turn it off using the home button and lock button. Is there any other way my phone can restart or turn off ? Is my phone broken for sure?

Most intelligent people would not store such sensitive data on a device that could so easily be lost, stolen, or damaged. Even if they chose to do so, they would use the device as designed and regularly sync and backup that device as described in the User's Guide.
Have you done so? If you have, all of the data is either in iCloud or iTunes on your computer. Replace the device and restore the new iDevice with the backup of the old one.

When I begin to attempt to download the windows support software in boot camp, it says the windows support software is unavailable. Is there any other place I can download it for a Macbook Pro 5,5 intel core 2 duo without the original CD?

Hi,
apart from the MacBook Air this feature is of no use for other Macs right now.
Simply ingnore it (click "I already have the Drivers...) and continue with the installation.
Sorry to say but you need the OSX Install DVD for the BootCamp Driver installation.
The 3.0 version of the BootCamp Drivers is only avaiable on the disc.
Later updates (3.1 and 3.2) can be downloaded from Apples Support website.
Call Apple and ask for a replacement and they usually send you one for a small fee.
And have the Serial-Number of your Mac at hand when calling.
And since the OSX Install DVD can also be vital for maintenance and repair it is best to have one.
The needed BootCamp Drivers are on the OSX Install DVD 1 that came with your Mac.
Insert that disc while in Windows after the Windows installation to install the drivers.
Regards
Stefan

What are the various system variabels in ABAP

What are the various system variabels in ABAP?

u can view all the system variables in SYST TABLE Also   ...............
ABAP System Fields
ABAP system fields are always available in ABAP programs. The runtime system fills them according to context. They can then be used in programs to query the system status. System fields are variables but you should always treat them as though they were constants, and only read them. If you change their values, important information for the flow of the program may be lost. In exceptional circumstances, system fields may be overwritten in an ABAP program to control the system for example, SY-LSIND (for navigating to a detail list).
With one exception the names and data types of the system fields are stored in the ABAP Dictionary in the SYST structure and realized as components of the predefined structure SY in ABAP programs.
The system field SY-REPID is not part of SYST or SY. Instead, every program contains the predefined constants SY-REPID and SYST-REPID, which both contain the name of the corresponding program. Furthermore, there are two predefined types of the same name, SY-REPID and SYST-REPID.
All system fields are addressed using SY field name and their types using SYST field name.
                                                                                Alphabetical Overview
The following table lists the definitions of the structure SYST in the ABAP Dictionary alphabetically. The character in the first column indicates how you can use the corresponding system field in ABAP programs. Name is the name of the component, Type is the Dictionary data type, and Length is the field length defined in the Dictionary. The Use column shows in which environment the system fields are set. The Description indicates the content.

Release status of R/3 System, for example 30D, 46A
SY-SYSID
Name of R/3 System, for example B20, I47
Information on the User Session
SY-LANGU
One-digit language key, for example D, E, F. Either logon language of user or set using the SET LOCALE LANGUAGE statement.
SY-MANDT
Client number the user logged on with, for example 000, 400.
For database accesses with Open SQL, SY-MANDT is used as the first key field of the WHERE clause.
SY-MODNO
Indexes external modes. Zero in first mode. In new modes, opened using the Create Mode function or by calling a transaction using /o, it is raised by 1. If previous modes were deleted, the free numbers are used first. Modes opened using CALL TRANSACTION STARTING NEW TASK start back at 0.
SY-UNAME
Logon name of user, for example KELLERH, BC400-01.
Date and Time Information
The following system fields are always set automatically. If necessary, the GET TIME statement synchronizes the application server time with that of the database server and writes it to the system field SY-UZEIT. SY-DATUM and the system fields for the local time zone, that is SY-TIMLO, SY-DATLO, and SY-ZONLO are also reset.
SY-DATLO
Local date of user, for example 19981129, 19990628.
SY-DATUM
Current (application server) date, for example 19981130, 19990627.
SY-DAYST
During daylight saving time X, otherwise empty.
SY-FDAYW
Factory calendar weekday, Sunday 0 Saturday 6.
SY-TIMLO
Local time of user, for example 154353, 225312.
SY-TZONE
Time difference to Greenwich Mean Time (UTC) in seconds, for example 3600, 10800.
SY-UZEIT
Current (application server) time, for example 164353, 215312.
SY-ZONLO
Time zone of user, for example CET, UTC.
Information on the Current ABAP Program
SY-CALLD
SY-CALLD contains SPACE if the program is the first and only program in a call chain. SY_CALLD contains 'X' if the program is a called program in a call chain (see ABAP Calls Overview).
·        SY-CALLD is set to X in a program called using CALL TRANSACTION, CALL DIALOG, or SUBMIT AND RETURN.
·        SY-CALLD is set to SPACE in a program called using LEAVE TO TRANSACTION, entering a transaction code on a screen, and processing batch input folders.
·        With SUBMIT (without RETURN) SY-CALLD retains the previous value.
SY-CPROG
In externally called procedures, the name of the calling program, otherwise the name of the current program. If an externally called procedure calls another external procedure, SY-CPROG keeps the name of the first main program and is not given the name of the main program of the further caller.
SY-DBNAM
With executable programs this is the linked logical database.
SY-DYNGR
Screen group of current screen. You can assign several screens to a common screen group. You can use this, for example, to modify all of the screens in the group in a uniform way.
SY-DYNNR
Number of current screen During the selection screen processing, SY-DYNNR contains the screen number of the current selection screen. During list processing, SY-DYNNR contains the number of the container screen. While a subscreen is being processed, SY-DYNNR contains its screen number. This also applies to tabstrips.
SY-LDBPG
With executable programs, the database program of the linked logical database.
SY-REPID
Name of current ABAP program. With externally called procedures this is the name of the procedures main program.
If SY-REPID was transferred to an external procedure as an actual parameter before Release 6.10, the formal parameter was not given the name of the caller, but the name of the procedures main program. SY-REID had to be transferred to an auxiliary variable before the call or you had to use SY-PROG.
As of Release 6.10, SY-REPID is a separate constant that is no longer part of the structure SYST or SY. It can be transferred to external procedures directly.
SY-TCODE
Name of current transaction code.
Background Processing
SY-BATCH
SY-BATCH is set to X in an ABAP program running in the background. Otherwise it is empty.
Batch Input
SY-BINPT
SY-BINPT is set to X during processing of batch input folders and in ABAP programs called with CALL TRANSACTION USING. Otherwise it is empty.
·         OPTIONS FROM in the CALL TRANSACTION USING statement can set SY-BINPT to empty for the whole program execution, as well as at the end of the BDC data.
·         In CATT procedures, SY-BINPT is always empty.
                                                                                ABAP Programming
Constants
SY-ABCDE
Contains the Alphabet. Can be used to access individual letters independently of the codepage by specifying offset.
SY-ULINE
Contains a horizontal line with length 255. Can be used when creating the list.
SY-VLINE
Contains a vertical line (|). Can be used when creating the list
Loops
SY-INDEX
SY-INDEX contains the number of loop passes in DO and WHILE loops, including the current loop pass.
Character Strings
SY-FDPOS
Found location for operations with character-type fields.
·        If the operators CO, CN, CA, NA, CS, NS, CP, NP are used in comparisons, SY-FDPOS is assigned offset values depending on the comparison result.
·        SEARCH FOR sets SY-FDPOS to the offset of the found search string.
Internal Tables
SY-TABIX
Current line in an internal table. With the following statements SY-TABIX is set for index tables. With hashed tables, SY-TABIX is not filled or it is set to 0.
·        APPEND sets SY-TABIX to the index of the last table row, that is the total number of entries in the target table.
·        COLLECT sets SY-TABIX to the index of the existing or appended table row. With hashed tables, SY-TABIX is set to 0.
·        LOOP AT sets SY-TABIX to the index of the current table row at the beginning of every loop pass. After leaving a loop, SY-TABIX is set to the value it had before entering the loop. With hashed tables, SY-TABIX is set to 0.
·        READ TABLE sets SY-TABIX to the index of the table row read. If no row is found with binary search while reading, SY-TABIX contains the index of the next-highest row or the total number of rows +1. If no row is found with linear search while reading, SY-TABIX is undefined.
·        SEARCH 0). Each time an interactive list event occurs, the system automatically increases SY-LSIND by 1. SY-LSIND can be changed in the ABAP program to navigate between detail lists. Changes to SY-LSIND are not taken into account until the end of the list event. Therefore, any manipulation of SY-LISND should be done using the last command of the processing block.
SY-LSTAT
ID for list levels within the program. SY-LSTAT can be filled with values during list creation in the ABAP program. The value valid when the list is completed is saved with the list. In the case of an interactive list event, SY-LSTAT is set to the value it was assigned during the creation of the list from which the event takes place. SY-LSTAT is no longer maintained and should therefore no longer be used.
SY-STACO
Number of the first displayed column of the list from which the event was triggered. Counting starts at 1.
SY-STARO
Number of the upper-most displayed row of the upper-most page of the list, from which the event was triggered. Counting begins at 1. This does not include the page header.
Printing Lists
When printing lists, the spool and runtime systems require certain internal information, which is available in the following system fields and is set during print activation.
SY-CALLR
Contains a value that displays where printing was started, for example NEW-PAGE for program-controlled printing or RSDBRUNT for printing from the selection screen.
SY-PRDSN
Contains the name of the spool file during printing.
SY-SPONO
Contains the name of the spool number during printing.
SY-MAROW, SY-MACOL
The SET MARGIN statement fills the system fields SY-MAROW and SY-MACOL, which determine the number of lines on the upper margin and the number of columns on the left margin when printing.
Print Parameters
The print parameters are transferred to the spool system by the runtime system in a structure of dictionary type PRI_PARAMS. Before this structure was used, its purpose was served by system fields. Today a subset of the PRI_PARAMS structure is still written to system fields with the same names when printing is activated. This information is redundant and should not be used.
Messages
If you execute the MESSAGE statement, the following system fields are set. If you execute the MESSAGE RAISING statement in function modules and methods, these fields are also set in the calling program, if it handles the exception.
SY-MSGID
SY-MSGID contains the message ID.
SY-MSGNO
SY-MSGNO contains the message number.
SY-MSGTY
SY-MSGTY contains the message type.
SY-MSGV1,,SY-MSGV4
SY-MSGV1 to SY-MSGV4 contain the field contents that are used for the messages placeholders.
Special Actions that Fill Message Fields
·        If you request database locks using the ENQUEUE function module, the field SY-MSGV1 contains the name of the user who holds the lock, in the case of the FOREIGN_LOCK exception.
·        IN the case of CALL TRANSACTION or CALL DIALOG with the USING addition, a message displayed during the called screen sequence is returned in the fields SY-MSGID, SY-MSGTY, SY-MSGNO, SY-MSGV1, ... , SY-MSGV4.
·        During Remote Function Call (RFC), error messages are transferred from the remote system to the calling system and SY-MSGID, SY-MSGTY, SY-MSGNO,SY-MSGV1, SY-MSGV2, SY-MSGV3, SY-MSGV4 are set. If short dumps or type X messages occur, the system also sets the fields.
                                                                                Internal System Fields
Internal system fields are only for internal use in the ABAP runtime environment and are defined in the kernel. Under no circumstances must they be overwritten in ABAP programs and they should also not be read (processed).
SY-CFWAE
Undocumented
SY-CHWAE

SY-DEBUG
Undocumented
SY-DSNAM
Name of spool output file.

What is the importance of Account Currency in GL master

HI,
Guru's what is the importance of account currency in GL master
Moderator: Please, search before posting

you can change the local currency option in GL master. but only think is that GL account has not been related to cleraing accouts.
SAP has given good example below.
Examples
You set up a clearing account for goods receipts and invoice receipts and manually post these items to it. You post invoice receipts in the invoice currency and goods receipts always in the local currency.
Invoice receipt 1000 DEM 600 USD
Goods receipt 600 USD
Both items can be cleared if the clearing account balances are recorded in local currency only. If you have not set the indicator for this account, the system will translate DEM to USD during the clearing procedure in order to determine the amount in USD required to clear 1000 DEM. If the translation rate is .65 USD per DEM, then the system displays 650 USD for the invoice receipt and 600 USD for the goods receipt when the open items are processed.
This means that to clear both of these items, you will also have to enter a difference posting for 50 USD, and the system will automatically make an additional exchange rate difference posting for this amount.
Hope this will help you.

kaparthi

What is the importance of word account in 'Account' assignment elements

Automatic 'account assignment derivation' minimizes the manual effort of entering postings in which the 'account assignment elements' can be entered. The values derived appear as default values that you can overwrite if you wish.
FM account assignment elements, Derivation of FM Account Assignment Elements from CO Acct Assgnmnts.
These are many place where word account assignment elements is used in sap.
what is the importance of word 'Account'. What should we understand if word 'account' assignment element wording is used in FM,CO or FI.

i have tried but no one answers specific question -- What is 'account assignment element'.
its used everywhere as if everyone understands it in every module.
for e.g
FM account assignment elements are not migrated to BCS. Nevertheless, they are crucial to proper migration, since budget data is assigned to these account assignment elements. You have the following options:
· If you do not want use new FM account assignment elements in BCS, you should proceed as follows:
Migration at fiscal year-end: no specific action is required. See link below.
Migration during the course of a fiscal year: you should carry out the activation of account assignments for BCS and optionally also define your budget structure.
· If you want to use new FM account assignment elements in BCS, such as the grant or funded program, proceed as follows:
Now if someone is new to SAP what would he understand with word - FM account assignment elements
Like in FI we have GL account and in FM we have Commitment item. Two different nomenclature. Why account assignment element is used freely as If everyone else understands it, I would love to understand that how to interpret word account assignment element differently if used in different module.

What is the importance on BOM Explosiion number

Hi,
what is the importance of BOM Explosion number . can any one give me in detail in which context it is used.
second is valuation type is getting populated in components of a production order. from where this valuation type is flowing to the child components.
thanks in advance
madan mohan

Hi,
By means of Bom explosion number we can define a common explosion date for all BOM levels.
The system explodes the BOM that is valid on this date.
For multi level BOM lareger time intervals may exist between the explosion dates of individual assemblies.If the BOM's have changed mean time a situation may exist where by an assembly that is used repeatedly is produced with a different BOM structure.
Therefore the BOM should always be exploded with the same date.
Tcode MDSP
You need to enter fixed key date,plant material and the status whether active or inactive.
You can enter the BOM Explosion No in planned order or when creating PIR.

What is the top hierarchical class in abap

What is the top hierarchical class in abap ? in java we have the class Object, that is on top of all the rest.
Is there a similar class in ABAP ?
Thanks

Hi,
Well actually there is a difference. In Java 'Object' is an actual class which is the root for all other classes (http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/java/lang/Object.html). While in ABAP 'type ref to object' only means it is a reference to a class instance. An actual root class like Object in Java does not exist.
Only for exception classes there is a root: CX_ROOT...
